[MITgcm-support] mnc questions

[David Wang]

Hi Michael,

If your aim is only to store each variable in its own nc file. There is 
a way to let mitgcm do something like:

enable diagnostics pkg, in data.diagnostics for each entry you add a 
single variable, To get the identical result as state.*.nc has, set 
frequency to be dumpFreq, and timephase to be zero. After getting 
diagnostics pkg to work, you may want to prevent model from dumping 
state.*.nc by setting dumpFreq = 0. and dumpInitAndLast = .FALSE.
